EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "The Devil frightens a countryman and his wife," depicts a chilling encounter between a demon and a humble couple from the early 17th century. The print, held in the vast archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era when folk lore and superstition held a powerful grip on the collective imagination. The demon, with his fiery red eyes, jagged teeth, and horns, looms over the terrified couple. The man, with a white beard and a simple, brown tunic, clutches his wife protectively, his face etched with fear and determination. She, with a white bonnet and a long, flowing gown, covers her eyes in horror, her body trembling with fear. The couple's simple, rustic attire and the barren, rocky landscape in the background serve as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of rural life in this era. The print is believed to be circa 1600, a time when the belief in demons and other supernatural beings was widespread in Europe. Such depictions were often used as cautionary tales, reminding people to stay virtuous and pious, lest they fall prey to the wiles of the devil. The print's haunting imagery and historical significance make it a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fears, beliefs, and values of a bygone era. Despite its eerie subject matter, the print is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of folk lore. It invites us to ponder the human condition, our fears, and our capacity for courage and resilience in the face of the unknown. This haunting image is not just a work of art, but a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the beliefs, values, and fears of our ancestors.
